Token Coon RepubliKlan US Senator Tim Scott says "Woke Supremacy" is as big a problem in the US as "white supremacy."

Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina on Monday told Fox News "woke supremacy" is as big a problem in the US as "white supremacy." His remarks came days after the FBI director underscored the threat posed by white supremacist groups, and confirmed their involvement in the Capitol attack on January 6.

"Woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy. We need to take that seriously," Scott told host Trey Gowdy. Scott was responding to comments from MSNBC's Joy Reid, who last week said that Scott was only present at a recent press conference to provide "the patina of diversity" for the GOP. The South Carolina Republican is the only Black GOP senator.

Republican lawmakers and the right-wing media have increasingly zeroed in on subjects like political correctness and cancel culture - often associated with the concept of "wokeness" - over the past few years. They've painted efforts to root out racist or bigoted language and images in literature, films, television, and other aspects of US culture as a dangerous form of oppression that poses a threat to healthy political discourse.

Scott's remarks quickly became a point of contention on and off social media. As the reactions poured in, CNN's Don Lemon fired back at him. The CNN news anchor began his argument with a recollection of the United States' long, odious history of slavery as he noted how people "can be so ignorant."

"Tim Scott is the only black — the only — only — Black Republican in the Senate," Lemon said exasperatedly. "Telling Fox News — of course, Fox News — that what he calls 'woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy.'"

Lemon added, "Do you want to explain who these woke supremacists are? I've never seen a woke supremacist lynching anybody. Never saw a woke supremacist denying anybody access to housing or a job or education or voting rights. Never seen any woke supremacists enslaving anybody. Never saw any woke supremacists trying to keep people from marrying amongst different races."

Lemon went on to ask Scott a simple question: "What are you doing?"

"Come on, Tim Scott!" Lemon shouted. "I didn't see any woke supremacists storming the blanking Capitol. Where are the woke supremacists attacking police? Where are the woke supremacists hunting people in the halls of the Capitol and beating them with Blue Lives Matter signs with white supremacist insignia on their shirts? Guess who I saw. Guess who police officers were beaten by. Guess who wanted to hang the vice president. White supremacists, Tim Scott! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

The remarks weren't missed by Twitter users either and they wasted no time firing back at the lawmaker. Mehdi Hasan ranked Scott's remarks as the "dumbest" words a Republican senator has uttered so far this year. Hasan tweeted, "Literally the dumbest thing a Republican senator has said in 2021 and that's despite all the heavy competition for that title from Tim Scott's colleagues."

Best-selling author Don Winslow described Scott as a "soulless, voiceless tool" who works against the progress of his state. He tweeted, "The Republicans hauled their tool [SenatorTimScott] out to attack the [CovidRelief] bill. History has shown that from his first day in office Tim Scott will do whatever Trump and The Republicans tell him to do. A soulless, voiceless tool who works against his state every day."

Only a Fool would say ‘woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy’

Tim Scott doesn't know they are laughing at him


March 13, 2020 | https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/03/13/only-fool-would-say-woke-supremacy-is-bad-white-supremacy/

“Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt” goes the famous, but disputed, adage. During an interview on Fox News on March 8, Sen. Tim Scott (S.C.) proved it to stunning effect.

The Palmetto State Republican didn’t like how MSNBC anchor Joy Reid said his presence at a recent news conference with his conservative colleagues gave it “the patina of diversity.” That’s fine. The problem is how he responded. “Woke supremacy is as bad as white supremacy,” Scott said after a tirade by host and former South Carolina representative Trey Gowdy. “We need to take that seriously.”

What in the “sunken place”?

“Woke supremacy” ranks up there with that tired crutch of the right known as “cancel culture.” The purpose of both phrases is to shield folks from criticism when they are called out for their actions or their deeply ignorant musings that peddle in racism, xenophobia or misogyny. It is also used to deny dignity to those of us who rise up and demand it in defiance of a dominant culture that depends on our silence. Or, in the case of Scott, complicity in maintaining that silence.

“Woke supremacy” is not real. But white supremacy is very real.

Bryan Stevenson of the Equal Justice Initiative once told me that the racial inequity white supremacy fosters has “created a kind of smog that we all breathe in and it has prevented us from being healthy.”
Isabel Wilkerson writes in her book, “Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents,” that the caste system of white supremacy is unyielding in its durability because “its very invisibility is what gives it power and longevity.”
The result is African Americans being viewed with suspicion and being held at the bottom of the social order, no matter our education or the state of our finances.

What is not invisible is the impact of white supremacy and those who enforce it. The clearest example is the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by white supremacists egged on by a white-supremacist president intent on overturning the election he lost. But we have borne witness to myriad other manifestations of white supremacy.

Last year, a White woman called the cops falsely claiming a Black man was threatening her in New York City’s Central Park after he asked her to follow the rules and put her dog on a leash. “BBQ Becky” called the cops in 2018 on two Black men grilling in an Oakland, Calif., park. “Permit Patty” called the cops that same year on an 8-year-old Black girl selling bottled water outside her own home in San Francisco.

Between 1916 and 1970, 6 million African Americans fled the racial terror lynchings of the South in the Great Migration north and west. And in Scott’s own state, an avowed and unrepentant white supremacist walked into historic Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C., to murder nine Black parishioners as they prayed.

I defy Scott to ask the families of those murdered in that 2015 slaughter whether something as ridiculous as “woke supremacy” is as bad as white supremacy. I defy him to ask the families of Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner, Walter Scott, Sandra Bland, Elijah McClain, Rayshard Brooks, Ahmaud Arbery, Daniel Prude, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor — to name a few — whether the pernicious power of white supremacy contributed to the loss of their loved one.
Scott has nothing to say to them on that score, I bet. Given his track record, his silence is golden, lest he prove himself a fool — again.
